Okay! I feel POWER, like I've never felt before... This is SO radical! And life changing

Okay I have a lot of things on my mind today!
I don't think I'll finish my boring post. Just cos.


Okay, you see, this morning I woke up feeling really tired, and really weak, and really worn out.

But I was so sick of feeling that way, since that was all I had been feeling for the past few days.

I was missing three very important (to me) things: 
  • My Apple Store gift card (which was a pretty large amount, FYI)
  • A have a little side job, doing media projects. And I had this particular project, where I misplaced a information disc, and it was really hanging over my head. And the man who it belonged to kept on calling me over and over and over, so I was feeling pretty horrible.
  • My math text book. I have a test coming up, to move up another grade, and how could I possibly study if I didn't have my text book?
And those thing were really dragging me down. It's the worst thing in the world to me when I can't find something important.


So, I decided to read my Bible, something that admittedly haven't done as much as I'd planned on doing in 2009. And then I picked up this little book that I started reading awhile ago called:
"The prayer of Jabez for teens".
And I started reading it. And reading it.
And I know this sounds simple, but I never really believed you could just ask God anything.

But I prayed Jabez's prayer. And I asked that today I would find those three missing things.
And I asked for something else too, but that is a little more private.


I was just so furious with losing things! Really really angry. So I spent a few hours, and you will never guess what! I found EVERY SINGLE THING. You don't understand, these aren't things I lost yesterday, they had been gone for weeks (I had been working on another text book, that particular one that was missing, was necessary until now). And I was so grateful!!!
I can't believe it. I just asked. I guess without realizing it, I had bought it to the, "
why would God care about something so insignificant to him?"

But it isn't true. We are his children, and he really cares about us. And for those of you that don't believe this, try praying the prayer of Jabez, found in 1st Chronicles 4:10

Okay, a second thing:

Now that I finally located that Apple card, I want to add to my iPod collection.
I've always thought it would be neat to have one of these, but I definitely didn't want it instead of an iPod. But, now since I have a Classic, and a Touch, I thought one of these would be a nice addition. Cos, my friend Emma says they are on of the best things since you can clip it virtually anywhere, and it has great battery life. Okay, then. I want you guys to vote, okay?

Color:
Blue
Green
Red

And what should I get engraved on the back? I get one line, and I already decided I need my phone number on there in case it got lost, but you vote on what should go before:

  • Music In Me
  • Hello Sunshine!
  • Music to my ears
  • Hi, I'm Radical
  • Little Miss Sunshine
  • Believe in love
  • Believe
  • Smile
  • Smile at mirrors
  • All things are possible
  • Everyday Sunday
  • Brilliant 
  • Awesome 
  • Hello, meet myTunes
  • If lost, please dial
Thanks!

  6. Hey Jill!

    (I'm assuming it's ok for me to call you that if not just tell me that I'm stupid and should know better!)

    So anyway thanks for the comment on that post! It's truly hilarious when people think they're too "cool" for you and your friends when you're doing "stupid" things! Life is so much fun.

    Btw I really like you're blog, and I'll probably be checking back often to see what you post! I love your "about me" section too! Very creative and fresh! I might just have to revise mine. Haha.

    Oh, and this post is really good. I can relate to the question "why would God ever care about something as small as this??" it's so cool that he really does though! He's just amazing :)

    And I think you should go with a green iPod that says "music in me". I like that one!

    Ok well maybe I'll talk to you later!
    Peace,
    Sara :)
